A tenth TV spot has arrived for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This one offers a few quick glimpses of Smaug the Dragon, voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. This notorious dragon has stolen the Dwarves treasure of gold and taken control of Lonely Mountain. Watch, as it is up to Bilbo Baggins to reclaim the mountain and kill the dragon!

I'd figured as much @narrator. A TV spot that I saw a while ago had a battle scene in a sunny-looking place, with Thorin appearing quite... blood-covered. And now that you mention that, a regaling tale would alleviate some traveling boredom.

As of November 8th, I'm up to five: Fast Five, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, Prometheus, and Skyfall.

It should be a flashback scene, @the-movieghost. In the book, the dwarves - namely Thorin and Balin - regale Bilbo with tales of their youth and how the Lonely Mountain was once this amazing place of productivity and happiness for all races involved. Then down came Smaug and washed the spiders, erm, I mean, dwaves out. Queue awesome flashback scene. It's the only explanation for Smaug even having an appearance in this first installment, as following the story from his or any of the lake-men's perspectives even briefly would be a terrible narrative choice on their part.
